Scene-setting?!

Hi.
Have I used 'scene-setting' correctly in:

Cultural signs in a painting include, the subject of the painting,, the governing sociocultural system of the society, the type of covering, figures and decorations, order and juxtaposition of the pictorial elements in the background, and the scene-setting of the painting, which is specially related to the social dealings, be it scene-setting in a simple house, temple, or a splendid palace.
?Thanks in advance

society is all the people in the society, whilst, 'social dealings' is the way people deal with each others in a particular society, like saying hello to each other, shaking each other's hands, buying loafs of bread, etc.

Isn't it?

Society includes social dealings. Settings reveal more than social dealings. Wrong word choice.

'Settings' in beside the point.

I mentioned scene-setting, and I ment the king of atmosphere/feeling that the painting generates.

Also, by 'type of covering' I mean the type of covering(!)be it dress, costume, scarf, Chador, Niqab, Burqa, etc

What about:
The cultural signs in a painting include its subject, the governing sociocultural system of the society, the type of clothing, patterns and decorations, the order and juxtaposition of the pictorial elements in the background, and the scene-setting of the painting, which is particularly related to the social dealings, be it in a simple house, temple, or a splendid palace.
